DuBOIS – Penn State students who have received scholarships to help cover the costs of their education this year had the chance to personally thank many of the people who made those scholarships possible on Thursday. The Annual Scholarship Luncheon, hosted at the DuBois Country Club by the Office of Development brings, together scholarship recipients with donors. Each year, donors and scholars alike are invited to the event to get to know one another. Donors get to see, first hand, the kind of impact they've had in the lives of students, and the students have the chance to explain how critical the scholarships have been in their educational pursuits."We have an opportunity today to express our gratitude to our donors and thank them for their generosity," said Chancellor M. Scott McBride during his opening remarks. He continued, telling donors, "This past academic year our campus awarded more than $423,000 in scholarships to nearly 280 students. That's an impact. I think you should congratulate yourself on that." Additional speakers during the program included student scholarship recipients Julia Test and Julie Shimmel, as well as donors Joyce Fairman and Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus Richard Kopley. The students offered a first-hand prospective on how much scholarships have impacted their lives, making education more accessible and affordable for them. Test said, "If it wasn't for our donors I wouldn't be able to come to school. These scholarships mean more than you can imagine. They have offered so much relief and allowed me to stay in school. I already work two part-time jobs while going to school. The scholarships allow me to focus more on studying. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generosity and support of our community and our school." Shimmel offered a personal story of how receiving a scholarship helped make an education possible for her as an adult learner. She recalled, "It was the summer of 2014, just four weeks before I started college, and my husband's company closed its door." Worried that without her husband's income, she would not be able to pay for college, Shimmel doubted she would be able to earn a degree. Then, she received a letter that informed her she was awarded a scholarship that would help cover her costs for education her first year. She continued to apply for and receive scholarships from then on. She said, "It was a letter that changed my college career. It relieved so much stress. I ended up completing my associate degree and returned for a bachelor's. It made my dream come true. Donors, thank you. You're not just giving a scholarship, you're giving peace of mind and security." Fairman explained her personal motivation for giving from the donor perspective: remembering what it's like to be in a college student's shoes. "I grew up in the Pittsburgh area, of modest means, and was the first one in my family to want to go to college," Fairman said. "I didn't expect to last longer than a year. College was expensive, but I did it and I earned a degree. I got loans and scholarships and it helped me make that happen. The only thing separating me from you right now is about 40 years." The greater than $420,000 in scholarships awarded each year at Penn State DuBois is done so through more than 50 individual scholarship funds, providing opportunity for aid for students in a multitude of majors.

Genesee TownshipWe have a very important election coming up in Genesee Township on May 16. Here are some very interesting facts to consider:Miller and Luce were not elected. They were appointed by previous Supervisors.The Citizens have been overcharged in the past for Solid Waste services, and Luce and Miller have been repeatedly questioned about this overcharge. At an open meeting, Miller and Luce voted to continue to run Solid Waste for 2017 as they did in 2016. Last year, the township charged taxpayers $23,732.12 just for labor, plus $16,718.00 just for the use of the township pickup. (the Township could buy a new truck every two years at that rate on just what they make on Solid Waste, and in the end, Solid Waste has nothing to show for that outrageous amount of money). With the tipping fees at Gold, which is roughly $8,000.00 per year, the total from Miller and Luce runs around $48,000.00 for Solid Waste pickup.An accounting furnished by taxpayers to the Township, shows that all garbage could be collected in accordance with our Solid Waste Ordinance for around $21,000.00 per year, still leaving around $5,000.00 surplus in ending balance. That means that you are being overcharged by $27,000.00 each year!It is time we make a change and elect supervisors who will be responsible with our money. What happened in the past can't be changed, but you can change what happens in the future. Use your vote to tell Luce and Miller they've got to go.

Students attending Health Assistants for a second year participate in a health occupation/A&P curriculum. The students have numerous opportunities to experience a variety of locations in the medical profession. This group of students had the unique opportunity to create a lesson to present to the Early Intervention preschool classroom located here at the Seneca Highlands Career & Technical Center. The students came to realize that there were varying ability levels and services which are within a classroom like this. At times, medical needs are apparent, as students may require a 1:1 nurse, so this could be a potential field to to implement the skills that they have learned.

The Health Occupation students worked as teams, AM and PM, to develop a lesson to present to the children. It was their responsibility to identify a theme, collaborate ideas, and then organize all that would be required for the presentation. Communication, cooperation, and compromise were huge factors in the success of the lesson. While in the classroom, the students used flexibility to adapt to the children’s needs and abilities. They were able to see the dynamics of the classroom “flow” and the accommodations that often need implemented. More importantly, it gave both the students and the children an opportunity to bond and develop the awareness of each other as we share one building! The children having the opportunity to be “pals” with the high school students and the students gaining a sensitivity and appreciation for these little ones. It opens the\ eyes to the fact that they are role models!
